Sergeant loses car, pistol in night club

 

 For preferring a ‘nice time’ at a club to his duty, a police sergeant, simply identified as Tokunbo, is now in trouble. The policeman, attached to Area F Police Command, Ikeja, Lagos, has been arrested and detained for losing his pistol to robbers while enjoying himself inside a night club at Igando area of the metropolis.

The sergeant also lost his Toyota Camry car. Tokunbo, according to a police source, parked his car outside the night club and walked in to have a ‘nice time,’ leaving his pistol inside the car. After the fun, he came out to discover that his car and Bereta pistol, loaded with eight rounds of ammunition, had been stolen.

Efforts to locate his car and those who stole it were fruitless.
Tokunbo was said to have reluctantly gone to report the issue to his Area Commander, Mr. Tunde Adagunduro, who felt that the sergeant was not being totally honest with him. The area commander, thereafter, ordered the arrest and detention of the sergeant. When contacted, the state Police Public Relations Officer, Ngozi Braide, said she was going to investigate the case. She also promised to brief our correspondent on the outcome. However, at press time, she was yet to call back.
